Bayelsa State, was yesterday thrown into mourning following the sudden death of a newly-inducted Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Francis Egele.
Egele, an illustrious son of the state, who hailed from Okoroba in Ogbia Local Government Area, reportedly breathed his last on Friday morning.
The prominent lawyer was said to have died in his late 50s.
The lawyer held a Thanksgiving in Yenagoa, last Sunday, to appreciate God for joining the ranks of SANs last year.
Sources said he developed complications arising from High Blood Pressure and was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa, where he died later.
Egele, a former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Bayelsa, in October last year, urged the state government to appoint new judges in order to quicken dispensation of justice in the state. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
